Re: 1965 Olds Cutlass Rear Gear

Hi Jim, Just wanted to say thanks, for the valuable information you provided to me and my shop. Too bad I didn't take the time to find you guys, before a purchase was made.

I just got my 65 Cutlass back from the shop. I had wanted to install a 3:08 posi unit to replace my 3:08 open rear. After a long search, by them, I was told no such gears are available so I went with the 3:55s. I'm not at all happy with this set up, too many rpms at freeway speed. The rear end housi...
